Decorate by Number: Simple and Modern Bedroom

In this weekly column, I'm sharing tips to help you achieve high-style home decor looks—on a budget. This week we're chatting bedrooms. Visit my blog A Vintage Splendor for more inspiration.

When you think of a warm, cozy, and inviting bedroom, pillows galore, faux fur throws, and neutral yet cheery hues come to mind. If all that fluff isn’t your thing, you can still achieve the same level of comfort in a bedroom on the other end of the spectrum. Rest assured, cool tones and modern pieces can be comfortable and create a space you’ll want to laze away in. Just like some people are chocolate ice cream lovers and others vanilla (I’m all about strawberry ice cream), there are different versions of comfort and everyone is right. It’s really about identifying what relaxes and calms you as opposed to what most people connote with comfort.

For all you modernists, you can achieve this Danish inspired bedroom on a budget. One contributing factor is the minimal furnishings and no-fluff bedding. Walnut furniture is always in style and even if you change your mind about your bedroom aesthetic you can work with the key pieces by adding a new duvet, rug, and artwork around the room. The icy blue sheets help create a sense of calm, which is so important in the bedroom and the brass lamp is functional and fashionable. As a devoted book reader, I love this colorful hardcover classic that adds the right pop of color.
